Research reveals 31% increased risk of long COVID in women: UT Health San Antonio

Females have a 31% higher associated risk of developing Long Covid, with women aged 40 to 55 years having the highest propensity, according to a study led by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The study found that among participants aged 40 to 54 years, the risk was 42% higher in menopausal participants and 45% higher in non-menopausal female participants, compared with male participants.
A survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that almost twice as many women have Long Covid, with almost 7% reporting Long Covid symptoms, compared with 4% of men.
The clinical and public health implications in terms of sex-based differences in risk of Long Covid, especially based on age, pregnancy, and menopausal status, are substantial.
